Man abducted at gunpoint by gang
Javed Mukhtar>
Javed Mukhtar was taken from his home
A 58-year-old man has been abducted by three armed men in Glasgow.

Javed Mukhtar was taken from his home in Shawmoss Road and bundled into a white van by the masked men just before midnight on Friday.

His son, Rizwad Javed, made an emotional plea for Mr Mukhtar's safe return. He said: "He is a loving father and we are all obviously devastated."

The area, near Pollok Country Park has been sealed off and officers are carrying out door to door inquires.

Strathclyde Police said they were extremely worried for Mr Mukhtar's welfare.

He is a diabetic and had been fasting for the Muslim festival of Ramadan.
